A Feredal law was once a [[bill]] in the [[House of Representatives]]. A bill goes through commitee, where they they refined exactly how the law should be, than it went to the house rules commitee where they set up perameters for debate on the House floor. Once there, it is debated (sliced and chopped and diced and cropped), and eventually they vote. It goes up to the [[Senate]] where they change the bill as much as they want without time restrictions. Sometimes they try to kill the bill with a [[filibuster]], meanining a guy talks about nothing for a couple if eternities and then they vote when every one has left or fallen asleep in their chair. [[Cloture]] is when they stop talking and finally vote on the bill. It takes 16 sentors to propose cloture, and then they vote about clouture: it takes ''60 senators' votes'' to achieve cloture. After that each senator can still speak on the bill for another hour (potetial 100 hours).

Then the Senate votes on the bill. If it passes, its usually different than when it went through the House, so the bill is sent to a conference commitee.
